Bought mine at Best Buy for $439, $424 after $15 reward applied. They were open box and in perfect condition.
The fact that these are getting marked down so steeply and less than a year from release is not a good sign at all. I love my AirPods Max but I doubt there will ever be a new model.
all of the airpod variations seem to constantly have sales or markdowns going on, can't really just say its only the max model.
Well yeah, after they were around for a while. But I don’t think the Airpods or AirPods Pro were marked down in under 12 months from launch by almost 20%. Apple had a hard time even meeting demand in the first 6 months for those models.
But id be happy to be proven wrong on that.

I think you’re right. AirPods Pro are marked down, now, but they were constantly at MSRP for the first year.
AirPods Max at 550 is a tough sell, especially when their competitors from Sony and Bose are much lower than that. Hope they don’t suffer the same fate as the HomePod

I don't know how they've sold or what the future holds for the next generation. I feel like Sony and Bose kind of set the market for noise cancelling blue tooth headphones. QC35s and XM4s have listed around $350 and have often been available for considerably less. The Bose 799s are $399. I have to think the Airpods Max was kind of a tough sell at $549. I had no interest in spending that much money on a pair of bluetooth headphones. My ears are not really audiophile quality. And it's not really a headphone designed for true audiophiles. At $449 they are kind of on my radar. Their biggest selling point for ME is actually the transparency mode. There are many times I need to be aware of my environment. I just think the initial price really reduced appeal.
